WHISKEY IN THE JAR

As I was going over the far famed Kerry mountains
I met with captain Farrell and his money he was counting.
I first produced my pistol, and then produced my rapier.
Said stand and deliver, for I am a bold deceiver,

musha ring dumma do damma da
whack for the daddy 'ol
whack for the daddy 'ol
there's whiskey in the jar

I counted out his money, and it made a pretty penny.
I put it in my pocket and I took it home to Jenny.
She said and she swore, that she never would deceive me,
but the devil take the women, for they never can be easy

I went into my chamber, all for to take a slumber,
I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure it was no wonder.
But Jenny took my charges and she filled them up with water,
Then sent for captain Farrel to be ready for the slaughter.

It was early in the morning, as I rose up for travel,
The guards were all around me and likewise captain Farrel.
I first produced my pistol, for she stole away my rapier,
But I couldn't shoot the water so a prisoner I was taken.

If anyone can aid me, it's my brother in the army,
If I can find his station down in Cork or in Killarney.
And if he'll come and save me, we'll go roving near Kilkenny,
And I swear he'll treat me better than me darling sportling Jenny

Now some men take delight in the drinking and the roving,
But others take delight in the gambling and the smoking.
But I take delight in the juice of the barley,
And courting pretty fair maids in the morning bright and early


KANNU VAAKUNAA

Isä poikkes viinapuotiin, malja toisillemme juotiin
ja valokuvat haalistuvat ullakolta tuotiin.
Isä kertoi rintamalta, sieltä tulimyrskyn alta.
Hän liika joi ja pahoin voi, ja tuntui katkeralta.

Ei mikään oo niin opettavaa,
kun silloin isän kaa,
kun silloin isän kaa
juotiin kannu vaakunaa.

Mannekiini Tikkakosken, hänpä kyllä kertoo jos ken,
mitä sota on, aivan aivoton, vaivihkaa kuivaa posken
Haju leijui hapankaalin, kun se Hitler ja se Stalin
ihan peräkkäin, tuli meiltäpäin, mutta ampui ohi maalin.

Me paransimme maailmaa,
kun silloin isän kaa,
kun isän kaa
juotiin kannu vaakunaa

Sitten jälleen rakennettiin, yhteiskuntaa pystytettiin.
Niin joutui veikot vahvat, heikot rämeille ja mettiin.
Minä synnyin, syntyi veli, yhteiskunta valehteli,
pois lupaukset, sitoumukset jäivät, selvä peli.

Se oli vallan huoltavaa,
kun silloin isän kaa,
kun silloin isän kaa
juotiin kannu vaakunaa

Me paransimme maailmaa,
kun silloin isän kaa,
kun silloin isän kaa
juotiin kannu vaakunaa

Me paransimme maailmaa,
kun silloin isän kaa,
kun silloin isän kaa
juotiin kannu vaakunaa
